2 PhD Positions Fluid Dynamics and Soft Matter of Complex Multicomponent Emulsions-
Job description
The 2 PhD projects will focus on different, complementary aspects:
- PhD1 will focus on flow physics around a particle-stabilized (Pickering), multicomponent droplet. You will develop and integrate novel experimental approaches including in-situ, real-time visualization of concentration fields and advanced microstructure imaging, combined with microfluidics and multiscale modelling.
- PhD2 will focus on chemical conversion in multiphase reactions. You will explore practical approaches towards the valorization of circular carbon, namely, selective catalytic transformations of CO2 and biomass in close collaboration with the section Inorganic Systems Engineering (Prof. Evgeny Pidko).
Our lab has previously revealed fascinating dynamical phenomena of Pickering bubbles (you can read more about this here & here) and we have recently performed the first quantitative measurement of diffusion across the particle-laden interface of a Pickering droplet (you can read more about this here). The Garbin lab is embedded in the Transport Phenomena section of the Department of Chemical Engineering, and the project offers exciting synergies with our international network of academic collaborators, and with two industrial partners active in sustainable chemical conversion.
**Requirements**:
For PhD1: experience with experimental methods in microscopy and image analysis is considered very valuable. Experience with microfluidics would be a plus.
For PhD2: experience with synthetic chemistry and experimental catalysis, and air-free operation, are considered very valuable.
For both projects it is important that you have good communication skills and are open to collaboration, as the project requires coordination and synergy with other team members and external partners. An ambition to bridge fundamental research with impact on society will also be highly valued.
Conditions of employment
From 1 September next, a salary increase of 3.7% applies due to a Collective Agreement amendment, followed by an additional 1% increase on 1 January 2025. In addition, most employees employed on 1 September 2024 will receive a one-off payment of €300 gross based on full-time employment.
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
